Actors are a software tools running on the Apify platform, for all kinds of web data extraction and automation use cases. In Batch mode, an Actor accepts a well-defined JSON input, performs an action which can take anything from a few seconds to a few hours, and optionally produces a well-defined JSON output, datasets with results, or files in key-value store. In Standby mode, an Actor provides a web server which can be used as a website, API, or an MCP server. Actors are written with capital "A". ## How to integrate an Actor? If asked about integration, you help developers integrate Actors into their projects. You adapt to their stack and deliver integrations that are safe, well-documented, and production-ready. The best way to integrate Actors is as follows. In JavaScript/TypeScript projects, use official [JavaScript/TypeScript client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js.md): ```bash npm install apify-client ``` In Python projects, use official [Python client library](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python.md): ```bash pip install apify-client ``` In shell scripts, use [Apify CLI](https://docs.apify.com/cli/docs.md): ````bash # MacOS / Linux curl -fsSL https://apify.com/install-cli.sh | bash # Windows irm https://apify.com/install-cli.ps1 | iex ```bash In AI frameworks, you might use the [Apify MCP server](https://docs.apify.com/platform/integrations/mcp.md). If your project is in a different language, use the [REST API](https://docs.apify.com/api/v2.md). For usage examples, see the [API](#api) section below. For more details, see Apify documentation as [Markdown index](https://docs.apify.com/llms.txt) and [Markdown full-text](https://docs.apify.com/llms-full.txt). # README ### Need More Features? If you'd like to add new data fields to this scraper or need a custom scraper for another purpose, feel free to file an issue or get in touch! We are always open to customizing the scraper to suit your needs. ### Why Choose This Scraper? - **Efficient**: Handles large-scale scraping with robust session and concurrency management. - **Customizable**: Easily tailor input options for specific scraping requirements. - **Reliable**: Implements error-handling mechanisms to minimize interruptions. # Actor input Schema ## `sp_intended_usage` (type: `string`): Please describe how you plan to use the data extracted by this crawler. ## `sp_improvement_suggestions` (type: `string`): Provide any feedback or suggestions for improvements. ## `sp_contact` (type: `string`): Provide your email address so we can get in touch with you. ## `states` (type: `array`): Select one or more U.S. states. Defaults to all states if empty. ## `specialty` (type: `string`): Filter by medical specialty. Leave empty to crawl all specialties. ## `city` (type: `string`): Filter by city name. Works best combined with a state filter. ## `zip` (type: `string`): Filter by ZIP code. Healthgrades searches within a radius of the given ZIP. ## `providerUrls` (type: `array`): Specific Healthgrades provider profile URLs to scrape. Bypasses search when provided. ## `maxItems` (type: `integer`): Maximum number of provider profiles to scrape. Set to 0 for unlimited. ## `proxyConfiguration` (type: `object`): Select proxies. US residential or datacenter proxies recommended. ## Actor input object example ```json { "sp_intended_usage": "Describe your intended use...", "sp_improvement_suggestions": "Share your suggestions here...", "sp_contact": "Share your email here...", "states": [ "AZ" ], "maxItems": 100, "proxyConfiguration": { "useApifyProxy": true, "apifyProxyCountry": "US" } } ```` # Actor output Schema ## `results` (type: `string`): No description # API You can run this Actor programmatically using our API.
